The Problem
The agency had launched a Citizen Developer program to enable business users to build their own Power Apps and Power Automate flows. While enthusiasm was high, the IT support team was overwhelmed with basic questions from first-time builders.
Support tickets were piling up, most asking the same foundational questions about connectors, data sources, and best practices. New developers would wait days for answers, killing momentum. The IT team needed a scalable way to support hundreds of citizen developers without hiring more staff.

500+ potential citizen developers
IT Support Staff
3 Power Platform admins
